Lynch's workout with former NFL head coach and current Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden will air a total of 12 times over the next month. The NIU alum is one of nine quarterbacks selected, as Lynch joins fellow NFL Draft hopefuls Blake Bortles, Tajh Boyd, Teddy Bridgewater, Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, Johnny Manziel, A.J. McCarron and Aaron Murray.

In its fifth season, Gruden's QB camp invites the top quarterback prospects in that season's upcoming NFL Draft for a two-part workout involving film study and an on-field workout. Past selections for the show include Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III, Cam Newton and Andy Dalton.

Lynch becomes the first quarterback from an Illinois university to be featured in the series and the second Mid-American Conference QB, joining former Miami (Ohio) product Zac Dysert. In addition, 26 of the 29 quarterbacks featured in the previous four seasons have gone on to be drafted.
